Are Turkish people friendly with foreigners?

This is probably the easiest question to answer overall. YES, locals are definitely very friendly with foreigners. It is deeply anchored in the Turkish culture to welcome everyone, and provide assistance whenever needed. You will often see for yourself locals asking you to sit for a small chit chat, have a small cup of coffee.
